IMILV f(I\STITI : TIOMI,IST HY JAMES GARDNER. - SUNDAY MORNING, APRIL 13. Kiver New*. The river continues in good boating order. The ; Taloniicco left yesterday, and the Fashion trill • leave for Savannah on Tuesday. The Clay Club. Last evening the Clay Club met at the Richmond Academy Chapel to celebrate the birthday of the sage of Ashland. The young gentlemen com posing the Club were encouraged in their laudable endeavors by an audience of our citizens, respecta ble both in numbers and intelligence, many of ! whom were ladies who graced the occasion with j their presence. Mr. Stephen S. Jones delivered an appropriate oration, which exhibited much taste, vigor of thought, and a cultivated intellect. His effort was well received and highly compli mented by his audience, and the ceremonies of the celebration generally were agreeable and interest ing. This is the third time, we believe, the Clay Club has furnished our city with an orator, on oc casions which have become national in our histo ry, and we trust that additional attention and en couragement will be extended to this worth v an d ennobling association of young men. Augusta Free School. This institution, which has for so many years rendered such important services to the education al interests of our community, we are pleased to learn, still continues in its prosperous and efficient course of usefulness. The Male Department, un der the charge of Mr. Snowden, is at all times well attended, and many of the scholars give promise of capacity for high and important positions in j subsequent years. The female department of the Free School is under the management of Miss Parsons, and we are pleased to hear the very flattering results which have attended the labors of this lady. The sehool has considerably increased in the number of its pupils, now about one hundred and thirty, and the instructress has been compelled to ask for an assistant, which fortunately she can very read ily find, fully competent and thoroughly conversant with the rules of the school, among her ou'n schol ars. The high order of instruction which lias been introduced into the Female Department of the Free School, in this city, and so successfully cultivated by Miss Parson's, enables this institution to fur nish female teachers, not alone for our own locali ty, but for other portions of the Slate. The State Hail Road. The Atlanta InieUigcnc. >• of Friday morning states that “ In about two weeks, the line of road from Atlanta to Dalton (about one hundred miles will be laid with heavy T rail, and the road will soon be in receipt of an additional 1600 tons, enough tofiurnish the entire line with thesanie iron. Four more of the number of first class engines or dered out last spring have arrived, and we soon will have an equipment second to that of no road in the country of the length of the State work. We have no doubt that our resources in this respect are decidedly superior. Our freight cars number now four hundred and fifty of first rate construc tion, and we are at tliis lime using only fifty-five cars of any other road whatever. For mutual con venience that number of East Tennessee cars are employed by the Western A Atlantic rail road. Manolia, or tlie Vale of Tallulah. We have been requested to insert the following notice of Manolia, as well as a communication from the Abbeville Banner, from Ophelia S. Joses, which follows : “ Masoua, oh The Vale op Tallulah, a little volume written by a huntsman of the mointains, intended as a Georgia bequest. The author’s highest aim is practical utility upon the two im portant subjects of politics and education, descrip tive of the wildest and most picturesque scenery, and imagination in the highest degree, as ex pressed by one of our most distinguished politi cians. The Literary Messenger for March has an article on English Dictionaries responsive of very many sentiments of the Georgia Uunsfman.” Front the AFberHU Btuin.t r. Calhoun's Miles, S. C., / Feb. 25, 1356. j The novelette, “ Manolia-, or the Vais qf Tati a lah,” illustrated, is the production of a Georgian, and notwithstanding its many typographical j errors, compares favorably with the prize tales j and novelettes published monthly in Northern j magazines and reviews, in point of style, longue-| and connectedness, and far surpasses the best oi j them in Republican spirit, high-toned morality, design, imagination and descriptiveness. It b speaks for the author a meritorious, sympathising and reflective, as well as a reading, meditative and retentive mind 1 hav« and re-read Manolia with increased interest, clothed as it is in chaste language' and pure thought, such as emanates alone from a pure and virtuous heart. In the eighth chapter, the author fully enumer ates the objects of his literary aim, viz : to dignify the huntsman’s pursuits, and to stimulate the more humble portion of our population, that they may know well their high privileges as American citi zens, and, self-reliant, gain correct ideas and con clusions in respect to American polity, the social progress of the age, and thereby shield themselves against the Vandalic transcendentalism of the North. Xenophon says to train a hero, make him an expert huntsman. In the golden age of the government of Rome, her huntsmen, husbandmen, heroes and statesmen, did not write, hut they act ed, hence the elements of Rome’s greatness, inimi table literature and glory of conquest. The privileged citizens of the South have been engaged in the performance of the duties of their respective vocations. As an instance, Geors iu - superiority over Ohio, as positively shown in a congressional speech of Representative Stephens. There are more authors North, as there the pur suits of the people have reared towns and cities, centralized capital, and attracted gifted foreigner-- , but if they are wanting South, create a demand j for them, aud they will appear. Open ihe foun- i tains of her resources; timelv she v ill have a Peri clean, Augustean and Elizabetliean age of litera ture. The Georgia Bequest clearly shows that the South has decided advantages over the North 111 mental, physical and pecuniary resources. It there be statesmen, scholars or authors North, the South will rejoice at it. The South is infested, as was the land of Egypt in lime of Moses, with lice, locusts and frogs, with Northern text books and catch-pcnny literature. This literature has a triple de-sign: first, to supplv the South ; secondly, to turn the minds of slaveholders against slavery ; thirdly, to limit the spread of slavery, that the North may consolidate the government and virtu ail'j colonize the South. We should nourish and cherish any and everv attempt South to write a book, establish a journal, magazine, or a review. The Georgia Bequest has our patriotic sympathy for Ins incipient literarv effort, and our best wishes for his future success. Try it again—prune the manuscript, and see the proof-sheet. The author deprecates romance writ ing, but his object again becomes his apology ; lie becomes his own assailant in this as well as in other things. The author was indifferent as to pains taking about tlie minutiae. We do heartily agree with him. that our lan guage is sadly in want of sympathizing. His independent thrusts at the political and re ligious ultraisms of the pros-nt day, bespeak a speedy dawning of a brighter day for the South. Be sides, we see the Georgia huntsman carrying a line unerring gun, not because of iu; costliness in line silver mountings, but because he i> proud to acknowledge that it is of his dear native Georgia manufacture. Here again he shows his strong southern spirit, as the i ankees in the days of nul lification taunted us with the baying up the rub bished arms of Connecticut to fight them with. Now Georgia can boast of southern manufacture equal to the world. \\ e are well aware that any literary effort South of Mason and Dixon’s line, is criticised be a chuckle and a sneer, whilst a negro inelodv or an Uncle Tom s Cabin is sought with the avidity that a re fined German audience would receive an overlook ed musical composition of her chief musical com poser, Bethoven. his high time the South should arouse from her lethargy, look to her dearest inter ests, aud buiid lasting monuments, not of marble to commemorate mere names, but such monuments as time cannot crumble or man deface. In conclusion, if Georgia can accomplish and bequeath to the naiion what her huntsman has conceived for her, her position will be truly a proud one. Ophelia S. Jones. The people of Atlanta are making strenu ous efforts to commence the construction of the Air Line railroad, a charter for which was granted bv the la-t legislature of Georgia Judge AVarner’s Speech —The Law of Slavery. The Honorable Hiram Warner made an able speech, on the Ist inst., in Congress, on the slave ry question. It lias been pronounced, in many quarters, one of the most lucid, logical and effective speeches of the session on this subject. He clearly demonstrates fotir propositions. First. That slavery, no where in this country exists, or has existed, by positive statute law. It, in fact, is an institution coeval with the utmost an tiguity, and commenced in this country under the operation of the slave trade, when it was recog nized as legal by every civilized nation. Second. That the slave trade, at the formation of the Federal Constitution and long subsequent, was not contrary to the law of nations—a proposi tion sustained by the decisions of the highest Ju dicial Tribunals of England and Ibis country. Third. That the slave trade was expressly re cognized as lawful by the Federal Constitution. fourth. That a slaveholder has, by the funda mental principles of international law, the un doubted right to take his slaves and be protect ed in their possession, into any foreign territory, where no positive law' is in operation prohibiting such introduction. Fifth. That the southern slaveholder has the right to introduce his slaves into any common territory of the Union, and to be protected in their peaceable possession. Sixth. That Congress has not the power, under the Constitution, to disturb these pre-existing rights, or to pass a law prohibiting the extension of slavery into the common territory. Seventh. That the Missouri Compromise was a waiver of constitutional rights on the part of the South, as to the territory North of 36“ 30', for the ■sake of peace, but acquiesced in with the under standing that it should apply to all the territory of the Union, but that the compact was repudiated by the great body ot the northern representatives at the time the act was passed. Me append to the concluding portion of this able speech. But how did the North regard this sacred com promise at the time, and since? On the Oth of March, 1820, the act was passed, authorizing the people of .Missouri Territory to form a State Con stitution, by the eighth section of which act sla very was excluded North of 36" 30'. On the 2d of March, 1821, the House of Representatives passed a resolution providing for the admission of Mis souri into the Union, by the proclamation of the President, upon certain conditions to be performed by the Legislature ot that State, when nearlv the whole body ot northern Rep. sentatives voted against the resolution for her admission ; and yet they now pretend to say, that they have sacre.Hy kept that sacred compact, when it was repudiated by their votes during the same session at which it was passed ; and the contemporaneous history of that period shows that this same compromise, now so sacred in the estimation of many northern poli ticians, was condemned and denounced by the entire North. The next territory that was acquired was Texas, which was also slave territory. The compromise line was extended through" that territory, the North appropriating all the slave territory North of 36 30 to freedom, as she did from the slave territory of Louisiana. The South, acting upon the understanding that the compromise line was applied to all the territory of the Union, carried out that understanding in good faith in regard to the slave territory of Texas. , sh e next Territory which was acquired was from Mexico; that was free Territory. The South was still willing to abide the compromise line; ami extend it through to the Pacific; but the North refused —willing to abide it so long as slave Terri tory could be appropriated to freedom, but when that compromise line was to inure to the benefit of the South, its binding obligation was denied and repudiated. Then it was that the South became released from all obligation to abide by that com promise, and was remitted to her original consti tutional rights in respect to the common Territory. It has been said that ihe South received the benefit of the admission of Missouri into the Union as a shire State. The reply is, that lowa has been ad mitted into the Union as a free State, with this marked difference, however, that Missouri was originally slave Territory, and lowa, which was originally slave Territory, is now a free State. The South lias gained nothing, and lost the State of lowa as slave Territory. The impartial historian will be at no loss to discover who it was that first repudiated the Missouri compromise in respect to the common Territory of the Union. After ihe Missouri Compromise had been repu diated by the North m regard to the territory ac quired from Mexico, the South voted for the "Kan sas-Nehraska bill, which contains the true princi ples of non-intervention by Congress with the question of slavery as it exists in the United States, in regard to the common territory of the Union—the true principles of the Constitution, which recognize the equal rights of the people of all the States to the enjoyment of that common territory. That act ought to be maintained, not only because it is right, just, and equal in its pro vision to the people of ail the States, but because it will have (lie effect to suppress agitation by dem agogues, both North and South, of the question of slavery. To use a common expression, it will take the wind out of the sails of that class of politi cians in both sections, who will he then unable to navigate in n"l v iters. In the South that class ol men claim to be the exclusive friends of slave in stitutions, and ask for a seat in Congress to protect that particular interest exclusively, in the North, that class of men claim the support of the people, because they are the e.ccluxtrt opponents of the *tar< it/ <tggrts-iotiof the South, as they arc pleased to represent themselves; and the result is, when they meet here the country is kept in a continual excitement, the legitimate business of the country neglected, that they may make political capital for themselves at home, in order to obtain place and power. I do not intend to be understood, sir, as saving that there are any of that class of men here now from either section of the country; the present company, you know, sir, is always excepted. lam only speaking of what might happen, and proba bly will happen, if this question of slavery agita tion he not withdrawn from this Hall, and referred to the people of the Territories, where it legiti mately belongs, and where the Kansas-Nebraska act refers it. it is, sir, for maintaining Ihe saluta ry provisions of this act, so essential for the peace and best interests of this great country, as well as the obligations imposed on him by tile Constitu tion, that the President of the United States has been denounced as a doughface. Far better is it for him, sir, as a man, and tor his reputation as an officer, that he should be denounced as a dung},, face, m maintaining the integrity of the Constitu tion of his country, than that he should have given occasion to have been denounced as a 'perjured traitor to that Constitution which lie had solemnly sworn to support and maintain in all its sacred provisions.

This lecture was the most interesting and strikingly beautiful this eloquent gentleman has yet delivered in our city. This is saying a great deal. It was marked by a comprehensive grasp of thought, and sparkled all over with gems of poeti cal beauty. The subject was '‘Young Ameriw.'' and it was presented in all its bold, vigorous and philosophical significance. It was identified with progress and improvement in their best sense. It was portrayed as typical of the grand ideas of Re publicanism, and the capacity of man for self-gov ernment—as the grand principle of reform which was refuting old dogmas, upsetting old abuses, and working out good results for humanity everywhere, and appealing to the best sympathies of the uni versal heart of man. It was in no danger of moving too fast, or of doing more evil than good. (Jn individual men, as on communities, there were checks and restraints, counselling prudence and clogging progress, just as in nature, there were ob stacles placing a limit upon speed in locomotion. It is impossible to attempt a sketch of the line of thought pursued in this lecture, or to present even a meagre skeleton of this masterly produc tion. It was an emanation of mind that, like Mi nerva, from the brain of Jupiter, came forth glow ing with intellectual beauty, and power, and wis dom, and radiant with pure thoughts and bright hopes for man. The lecturer, in conclusion, gave expression to a high wrought rhapsody in which he pictured, as in a vision, such as Dante saw, the toilsome, but still ascending progress of humanity up the crag gy steeps, marked though it be, by blood prints and desolate spots, to that summit of glad sun light aud pure air where it was to receive its crowning triumph on earth. This was a masterly performance in thought and diction, creditable alike to the intellect and heart of the speaker. The concluding allusion to the gallant deed of Capt. Ingraham, at Smyrna, in rescuing Martin Kosta from Austrian oppression, was happily con ceived. It was presented as typical of what “Young America” with the flag of the stars and stripes in his hand was deslined to accomplish to reform the hoary abuses by which mankind has been manacled and crushed down. We regretted that there were many vacant seats in the Hall while this lecture was delivered. A com munity as intelligent as that of Augusta must have hundreds of citizens who would have intensely en joyed this eloquent and philosophical effort. Such contributions to our fund of thought and reflec tion, ought to be appreciated and encouraged by every good citizen. Nothing can be more benefi cial and improving to all whether of the school of “Young America” or "Old Fogyism.” Gov. Iledman ,11. Price, of New York. The telegraph and the mails have communicated the news, that the trial instituted by the United States against Gov. Price, for alleged defalcations as Navy Agent at San Francisco, has resulted in a full acquittal of the Governor, and established the fact that the Government is indebted to him. In 1850, Gov. Price was directed to return to Washington City from California, and bring with him all his papers and vouchers, that he might have a settlement with the Department. While lie was on his way, on board of a steamboat on the Alabama river, the boat was burnt, and Gov. Price saved his life by swimming, but lost all his effects and all his vouchers. He was, at one time, a Purser in the Navy, and had been on duty as a Navy Agent at San Francisco. If he could not pro duce the vouchers of his payments on behalf of the Government, it was the result of a calamity over which he had no control, and under the cir cumstances was entitled to sympathy, instead of harsh treatment. The suit was prosecuted, even after the Attorney General of the United States gave an opinion which, in effect, exonerated Gov. Price from all indebtedness to the United States. It is simply an act of justice, that the press of the country should spread before the people the gratifying fact that Governor Price lias stood the severe ordeal of a trial, ns a public defaulter to the government, and been fully and honorably ac quitted.

FARRELL’S CELEBRATED ARABIAN LINIMENT IS well known to possess the most wonderfully . healing, penetrating and stimulating properties, and by its promptness in effecting cures, which previously bad resisted all other medicines, ad ministered by the most scientific physicians, lias placed it far beyond any similar remedy ever in troduced to the people of the United States, ll stimulates t lie absorbents to increased action, and thus enables nature to throw off disease— it pene trates to the bones, adding strength and activity to the muscles—it is powerfully anodyne and thereby allay* -nervous irritation, producing a delight/ailij pleasing sensation through the whole frame. Owing to its remarkable anticeptic properties, it purifies and neutralizes that poisonous, corrosive principle which renders old ulcerous sores so difficult to heal; it therefore is peculiarly adapted to their speedy cure. This Liniment, from its penetrating and strengthening qualities has been found to be a spe cific for Paralysis or Palsy, Whiteswellings and diseased joints, and in fact all comulaints invol ving the muscular system. It has cured cases of Rheumatism of twenty to thirty years’ standing, and affections of the Spine wherein the entire spi nal column was so crooked and distorted, that the patient could not walk or stand without artificial support. Numerous eases of Palsy have been cured when the flesh had withered, leaving nothing but the dried skin and bone, and ttie limbs totally without use or feeling. For Children .with Croup it is of inestimable value, rubbed and bathed over the throat and chest. If applied freely on the chest it never fails to give relief in the severe Coughs at tending Consumption, Asthma and Colds. Ii heals wounds speedily—will cure Scaldhead, Mange, etc. Planters and Farmers will find it a most valuable medicine to be applied to Horses and Cattle for Sprains, Bruises, Lameness, Stiff Joints, Sweem-v, Dry Shoulder, Wounds, Burns, Splint, Chafes or I (tails. Hardened Knots on the flesh, etc. ! Look out for Counterfeits ! - The public are cautioned against another conn : terfeit, which has lately made its appearance, called j \V. IS.
